At this point what they learn in business schools is the full bestiary of legal and illegal tricks and scams you can use to extract money from us cattle and contribute as little as possible to the upkeep :(

I knew and use this, but I never thought to call it two clipboards :)

Plus I’d never heard of shift-ins, I just used ctrl-shift-c/v in graphic terminals :P

There was Artifact 🤦

Ok, fine, I hadn’t considered that and it’s a factor. None of the demographically declining countries like Italy, Japan, Portugal is doing great in terms of growth…but they don’t have deflation either. You also have the productivity growth factor into account with automation (meaning each citizen produces more but also uses more resources)

Sure, any economy can experience deflation if you have more goods chasing the same amount of currency, but the point is that most economies usually print money, that causes inflation (moderately that mimics around 2% (approx. linear resource growth) and 4% (rent extraction). Interest rates influence market behaviour that causes inflation but do not determine inflation.

Probably a typo, but currency is *inflationary, cryptocurrency is *deflationary, that’s why it’s not for spending “now” (e.g. hodlbros)

The moment my cryptofan buddy started talking up brave, I knew it was time to uninstall.

Commenting to find this later, can’t remember remindmebot command :P

Most of the ones I know will thank you if you just find their work and don’t add one more email to their already full mailbox 😎 it’s another culture.

Yea, looks like a pretty bad gutter alley they got there, it’s one of those “anything goes freedom of speech” just to cover up for despicable ranty slurring.

Ok, I’m not sure if you’re for real, but I have a feeling you’re one of the dudes with the writers/actors strike and I have to say that as someone who hates barriers to knowledge I also respect your struggle to keep doing what you love. I just feel like studios are getting too greedy on both ends in an attempt to prop up unsustainable profit margins, thus making it hard to afford services and hard to live on the wages they pay.

/rant That said, scientific paper publishers are another beast and the worst offenders (e.g. see a paper related to climate change for 48 hours, 40$) many researchers don’t get paid to write the paper or even pay to have it published, only to see it paywalled, so nobody will even read it legally, so they can oversharge universities. /rant off

Ok, fine, at least you’re consistent.

Ok, I’ll go to chatgpt then

Only hand drawn ones or e.g. 🚓 I stole this one from the interwebs. Now you saw it, you gotta pay the owner. THOUGHT CRIMe

Whoosh

Haha, I feel solace in knowing that we suffer together, pull yourself up by your flipflop straps, right?

Who are exploding heads? I.e. what about people from that instance?

Thanks for the rec, I had no idea
